[Ti] re: mail problem

[Da Pen]

Hello again.  Thank you John for the reply to my
question.  I have one more for clarification.  When
you just use the delete function in the Trash box in
Mail it doesn't completely delete them?  If not, what
actually happens in this "hidden" mode?  I don't
understand a delete function not "deleting."  Thank
you much.  Dave

PS.  What actually is different about the command-K
function?  Does K stand for compress?

Delete the emails again and then press Command - K to
permanently  
delete them from the mail database.
When you delete them they are only hidden until
Command K is used.

Its like in Entourage or Outlook Express, you have to
compact the  
database to actually delete the files.
